@@eden55272 that muslim antisemitic narrative is a blatant lie. Jewish people isolated themselves due to religion and customs so marriages with locals were forbidden and went against both communities. There was Jewish persecution in all of Europe so historically up to the 1920s and even then, marriages of Germans and Jewish Germans or Hungarians with Jewish Hungarians were frowned upon by both communities. All the Jews from Europe and Russia were direct descendants of original Jerusalem Jewish Tribes. Hundreds of thousands of Jewish people migrated to (then called) Palestine in the 1910s, 1920s then after the rise of Nazism in the 1930s and escaping in the 1940s. Historically, in preWW2 Europe it was often DANGEROUS to openly claim either Jewish ancestry or following Judaism. Pre WW2 in Europe since the Middle Ages Jewish people were most often restricted to special areas in a city. They had less rights. So no reason why any non-Jewish Europeans would risk their safety or status to 'convert to Judaism" as you claim. Even between WW1 and WW2 Jewish and non-Jewish marriages rarely happened in Europe. Additionally, your intellectually dishonest muslim myth ignores how many Ashenazi and Sephardic Jews created and moved to Israel before the say, 1980s when indeed converting to Judaism became more accepted socially worldwide. Also, your comment ignores that moving to Israel is impossible unless you have JEWISH ANCESTRY on the mother's side, which is different from converting to Judaism which does not give anyone "the Right of Return". Your comment disrespects millions of Sephardic Jews and Midrachi Middle Eastern Jews who were banished from the Middle East. Shame on you with such propaganda .

The Lemba people have nothing to do with Jews or Israel. The Lemba have No High Priests DNA, that is incorrect! They have been shown to have Arab Muslim DNA from Arab traders. They have no Jewish or Israelite DNA. The Lemba have no Cohen genetics. There were 5 studies done on Cohen genetics. The original CMH (Cohen Modal Haplotype) was tested in 1996, and 2000 when DNA testing was in its infancy. Dr.Karl Skorecki tested Ashkenazi and Sephardi Jews that self-identified as Cohanim. From these "White" Jews, they came up with 6 gene sequences that most had, they labeled this as the CMH. The problem was that the control group which was mostly Arabs that had no known tie to Jews, let alone the High Priests over 30% of these people also showed positive for these gene sequences. In later testing they tightened the parameters of the DNA testing and used more gene sequences to create the *_Extended CMH,_* when the Arabs and the Lemba were tested against the Extended CMH, neither group had these genes, while 95% of the Cohen Jews showed positive. The Lemba was tested again in 2013, by the South African Medical Journal, the study called, *_"Lemba origins revisited: tracing the ancestry of Y chromosomes in South African and Zimbabwean Lemba"_* the study concluded; *_"While it was not possible to trace unequivocally the origins of the non-African Y chromosomes in the Lemba and Remba, this study does not support the earlier claims of their Jewish genetic heritage"_* Any questions? I work with DNA and have read all the studies the Lemba were tested in. They have no Israelite DNA, they have no High Priests DNA.

Turns out i have Jewish roots, my grandmother on my mothers side was Jewish. After the war my mother grew up as a "normal dutch" girl and nothing jewish was left in our life. Except some rumours about us being jewish. My sister went to a Rabbi and the synagoge to kinda get a connection with her roots or something. I went to as she asked because she was afraid that she wasn't jewish and that would make it awkward. Went to chanouka a couple of times. It was really nice. But since i am not really a religious person and was a combat vet of my country and now doing stuff in politics i kinda kept considering myself "not jewish". Later we found the family documents and some of my family went to a "birthright Israel" trip and i still was like: oh nice, now my family can explore their roots, but not for me. Then 7/10 happend and start hearing stuff, out on the street and even in politics. Then they discover some photo's of me and my sis celebrating chanouka, and then all of a sudden i am in this weird dynamic where i have to defend myself (never set foot in Israel, not considering myself a jew) against vile hatefull lies and slander and anti semtism. And it just gets worse and worse each day. The thing is though (perhaps a mental disorder on my side) the more they push and pull the more i find myself saying i am indeed a jew. Kind of weird as i am better off saying "hey i am not, i never felt like one" but i just can't do that. Like some childish way of "no, because now you want to force me to not be one i am not gonna, because it is my heritage" So here i am, at night with my son and wife asleep trying to learn what a jew even is.

It's nice that you're trying to learn more about your roots :) Feel free to ask me questions, but here are some things I'd check out if you want to learn more: 1. Chabad (both in-person & website) They are very accepting to non-religious Jews & religious Jews alike, and would be more than willing to answer any questions you may have. Their website gives tons of info on Jewish beliefs and practices, too.. It's definitely a great start to finding out more! 2. Living L'chaim - Simply because it's a Jewish podcast and it can help you connect with Jewish people more by listening to their stories (it's predominantly religious Jews that are interviewed, though) 3. Shloime Zionce - Someone to relate to (though, again, religious) 4. Jewish Songs (you can check my playlist if you want a start lol) From those four, you can connect to your heritage, but if you want to understand the religion a bit more I'd recommend: Rabbi's like Y.Y. Jacobson (very popular from non-Jews all the way to hasidic Jews) R' Lawrence Kelemen also gives great speeches and another popular one is rabbi lord jonathan sacks who passed away, but has a lot of great stuff to check out. Hope this helps 🤗

[@jessevandeinsen4202]

@kiavra1789 thank you so much ! I am sure that it will help me to reconnect. Will check out the websites. My plan of attack was to first get to know more about the culture and then move on to religion. As in my country and region, there are almost no jews left after ww2. (I looked into the register, and there were 10 in my city, 5 of them 1 family that came here because of the university.. so, not really a group I can walk into to learn, so it really helps to have another place to connect.) Stumbled my way to this channel, and that was cool too. I do have a question already, though. I bought a keppah, but is that like something I am allowed to put on already, or is that a thing where you first need to go to a rabbi.

@@itaiharshoshanim-ib6kp No. Some ancestors of Ashkenazim had lived in other lands including France, Spain, Czechia, and Greece. For those who don't know, these Jews were called the Tzarfati Jews, Sephardic Jews, West Knaanic Jews, and Romaniote Jews respectively. The early Jewish settlements of the Rhineland were never the only source for Ashkenazi Jews. A good reference for the West Knaanic Jewish population element is the November 2022 study "Genome-wide data from medieval German Jews show that the Ashkenazi founder event pre-dated the 14th century" which calls it "Erfurt-EU". The Jews who lived in medieval Norwich (mentioned in this video) were Tzarfati Jews. Also, recent surveys of Ashkenazi autosomal DNA came up with an estimate of only around 1/3rd total from the Levant region of the Middle East specifically. Other Ashkenazi DNA originated in Iraq, Anatolia, Persia.

yeah im not sure if i am following this argument. JEws are an ethnoreligious group. not just a religion. an ethnic group. this means jews must be related to each other. if not then some arent jews. you say well you can convert. those are a small minority of jews. jews have historically not proselytised. so if my family tells a story that we are jews, and we are not, and that gets passed down for 1000 years it does not become true. thats relativistic thinking. either im related to Jacob ben Isaac. or im not. im either jewish or not. I might be mixed race jewish - germanic/slavic and ashkenazi for example. but I still have to have some sort of genetic connexion to that group of people. The jewish convert exception is just that an exception to the genetic rule, it does not negate the genetic rule.

@@shainazion4073 actually a peer reviewed genetic study is coming out in a few months. I had early access. You'll have full access, Why deny what a future study will published? It will be released. They are mix of course but we all are. I myself in community on my youtube channel published a few of these genetic charts. It's actually great. Also research Tsvi Misinai Tsvi Misinai Tsvi Jekhoran Misinai.

​@@shainazion4073*After Herodutus, the term 'Palestine' came to be used for the entire region which was formerly known as Canaan.* The region is part of the so called fertile crescent and human habitation there can be traced back to before 10, 000 BCE. According to Genesis 10: 1-20 *"The Arabs,* Hamites, *Canaanites* and Jebusites were the original inhabitants of the land of Palestine, including the area of Jerusalem." *Canaanites and Jebusites were there long before (at least 2,000 years before) the Jews, and even long before Judaism was revealed!* *So where did the Palestinians get their DNA from?* *One study done by Nebel found substantial genetic overlap between Israeli/Palestinian Arabs and Jews. Nebel proposed that "part or perhaps the majority of Muslim Palestinians descend from "local inhabitants, mainly Christian and Jews, who had converted after the Islamic conquest in the seventh century AD."* *And according to scientific research archaeological and genetic data support that both Jews and Palestinians came from the ancient Canaanites, who extensively mixed with Egyptian, Mesopotamian, and Anatolian people in ancient times.* Thus, Palestinian -Jewish rivalry is based in cultural and religious, not in genetic differences. *Researchers also determined that the Canaanites* - who frequently appear in ancient sources, including the Bible - *descended from a mixture of an early Levantine population and migrants coming from the Caucasus region of modern-day Iran.* *And in recent years genetic studies have demonstrated that, at least paternally, Jewish ethnic divisions and the Palestinians are related to eachother. Genetic studies on Jews and Palestinians are closer to each other than the Jews are to their host countries. At the haplogroup level, defined by the binary polymorphisms only, the Y chromosome distribution in Arabs and Jews were similar but not identical.* *A 2020 study on remains from Canaanite (Bronze Age southern Levantine) populations suggests a significant degree of genetic continuity in Arabic-speaking Levantine populations (such as Palestinians, Druze, Lebanese, Jordanians, Bedouins and Syrians), as well as in several Jewish groups (such as Ashkenazi, Iranian, and Moroccan Jews), suggesting that the aforementioned groups derive over half of their entire atDNA ancestry from Canaanite/Bronze Age Levantine populations, albeit with varying sources and degrees of admixture from differing host or invading populations depending on each group.* According to a study published in June 2017 in Frontiers in Genetics, *the ancient Levantines (from the Natufian and Neolithic period) clustered predominantly with modern-day Palestinians and Bedouins.* And according to a study published in August 2016 by Marc Haber, he concluded that *"The overlap between the Bronze Age and present-day Levantines suggest a degree of genetic continuity in the region!*

Perhaps we shouldn't be talking 'Palestinian DNA' or 'Jewish DNA' but rather Canaanite DNA

[@noahtylerpritchett2682]

@@stephenchappell7512 there's actually a issue with that. In a few months a genetic study will release show casing that Judahites are more natufian Neolithic and Canaanites are more Anatolian Neolithic. Sure mix together both are Levant Neolithic. But genetic raw profiles on ancient Canaanites skeletons look like Syrian Hittite mix. And raw original iron age judean dna looks Arabic.

Proverbs 8:22-36 22 “Adonai made me as the beginning of his way, the first of his ancient works. 23 I was appointed before the world, before the start, before the earth’s beginnings. 24 When I was brought forth, there were no ocean depths, no springs brimming with water. 25 I was brought forth before the hills, before the mountains had settled in place; 26 he had not yet made the earth, the fields, or even the earth’s first grains of dust. 27 When he established the heavens, I was there. When he drew the horizon’s circle on the deep, 28 when he set the skies above in place, when the fountains of the deep poured forth, 29 when he prescribed boundaries for the sea, so that its water would not transgress his command, when he marked out the foundations of the earth, 30 I was with him as someone he could trust. For me, every day was pure delight, as I played in his presence all the time,. 31 playing everywhere on his earth, and delighting to be with humankind. 32 “Therefore, children, listen to me: happy are those who keep my ways. 33 Hear instruction, and grow wise; do not refuse it. 34 How happy the person who listens to me, who watches daily at my gates and waits outside my doors. 35 For he who finds me finds life and obtains the favor of Adonai. 36 But he who misses me harms himself; all who hate me love death.”

No, Jews are not genetically related. Israelis are not Jews, they are European converts. Netanyahu is of Polish convert background.

[@MiguelDLewis]

If they converted to Judaism, they're still Jews. Judaism is a religion.

[@Ubercentraltf2]

Even polish Ashkenazi Jews are genetically related to other Jewish groups. So no his family didn’t convert.

[@MiguelDLewis]

@@Ubercentraltf2 What's the specific gene or haplogroup that all Jews share?

[@shainazion4073]

There is not one genetic study that shows Jews are converts. And, Eighty percent of Israeli Jews are Sabras! Sixty percent of Israeli Jews are Mizrahi Jews forced out of the Arab and Muslim countries because Israel became a state, they have NOTHING to do with Europe. There are less than twenty percent of Israeli Jews from Europe, and most are recent immigrants from Ukraine and Russia because of the war. Geneticists have proven there are a *less than half a percent of converts per generation* amongst Jews. Perhaps, educate yourself!!

[@shainazion4073]

​@@MiguelDLewisThere is NOT one specific haplogroup or gene, it is a pattern of genes that they share.
